I currently lay down on a couch. And I see my T 4-5x/week.
I spent the first 2.5 years sitting up, so I have a pretty good internal idea of my T’s facial expressions. Eye contact was really challenging and so not having to make eye contact has been helpful. I also used to have really rigid body posture, and laying down helps me relax a little bit sometimes. I think it has also increased certain periods of regression, or allowed younger feelings/states to come out.
It’s easier to find my internal feelings and affects usually.
I try to handle logistics sitting up - before I lie down. It is more vulnerable in some ways, like sometimes I feel watched or scrutinized. It’s all part of the work though.
